The now four-year-old daughter of Shadow Play converted off a perfect second-over trip from driver Sylvain Filion for her fourth consecutive score in the $30,000 top-class.

Exhilarated was the quickest away and led the field of seven to the opening-quarter in :28.1. Request For Parole made a second-quarter move to the lead from fourth and led the field by the half in :58.1.

P L Hurricane angled out at the half from third to commit first-up, which provided cover for Kendall Seelster from fifth. Request For Parole led by just under a length at three-quarters in 1:26.

In the stretch, Kendall Seelster powered off cover and charged home in :27 to secure her fourth win in a row. Double A Mint rallied from sixth at the head of the lane to edge out Just Her Luck for second, while P L Hurricane was fourth.

Kendall Seelster moved up to the Preferred level in late-October and capped off her sophomore campaign with several victories over aged rivals. The Rod Boyd-trainee is now undefeated in two starts this season after winning nine of 23 and earning C$283,465 in 2018.

Saturday’s victory brings Kendall Seelster’s career stats to 15 wins and C$767,450 earned for owners 1187422 Ontario Inc. She paid $2.60 to win.

Along with Saturday’s C$30,000 feature, millionaire pacer Sintra collected his second consecutive win after a layoff with a strong 1:52.1 victory in a C$28,000 event. The six-year-old gelding sat second-over turning for home and powered by rivals in the lane for driver Jody Jamieson.

Trained by Dave Menary, Sintra returned to the races last week for the first-time in over three months and won in 1:53.1. The 2017 Canadian Pacing Derby champion was moving up to face tougher company Saturday, including a trio exiting the Preferred, and prevailed for his 20th career victory.

Sintra is owned by Brad Gray, Michael Guerriero and Brampton-Menary Racing Inc.
